Chapter 2223: Extremely Crude

Haolin Heavenly Sovereign grew increasingly alarmed!

By now, if he still couldn't see Ye Yuan's prowess in formations, he would be a fool.

Every step Ye Yuan took landed precisely on a formation eye.

As long as he stood on a formation eye, no matter how Haolin urged the formation, it couldn't harm him.

But the key was that finding every formation eye was extremely, extremely difficult!

An eighth-order divine formation, ever-changing, like evolving a world.

Its complexity was beyond the grasp of ordinary martial artists.

Yet Ye Yuan understood it at a single glance?

Cold sweat trickled down Haolin Heavenly Sovereign's back; he was terrified by Ye Yuan.

This guy was an enemy of Lord Jiusheng?

What kind of freak had Lord Jiusheng provoked?

"Hmph! So what if you can break the formation? A mere mid-stage Heavenly Sovereign, do you think the Jiusheng Daoist Temple fears you?"

Haolin Heavenly Sovereign sneered and transmitted through the formation: "All Heavenly Sovereigns, assemble at the mountain gate immediately!"

His voice thundered, reaching every corner of the Jiusheng Daoist Temple.

In an instant, over a dozen black shadows sped toward the mountain gate.

When they saw Ye Yuan above the void, each was stunned speechless.

A grand eighth-order divine formation couldn't stop a Heavenly Sovereign?

"Be ready. Once this kid breaks through, surround and kill him!" Haolin Heavenly Sovereign said coldly.

The other Heavenly Sovereigns, seeing Ye Yuan's cultivation level, showed disdain.

"Haolin, you're making a fuss! A mere mid-stage Heavenly Sovereign has you this scared?"

"Exactly! Aren't you enough alone? Why call us over?"

Haolin Heavenly Sovereign frowned: "This kid is sinister! Lord Jiusheng is still severely injured. To be safe, better cautious!"

Hearing this, the others fell silent.

Moreover, they were indeed shocked that Ye Yuan could breach an eighth-order divine formation.

Within the formation, Ye Yuan walked leisurely, as if strolling in a courtyard.

Half a day later, Ye Yuan finally reached the end of the formation.

The last formation eye!

Haolin Heavenly Sovereign's gaze sharpened, and he shouted coldly: "Everyone, prepare!"

The dozen or so Heavenly Sovereigns tensed, poised to strike, ready to deliver a fatal blow once Ye Yuan broke through.

Ye Yuan stopped, took out another divine essence stone, and tapped the void.

Boom!

Suddenly, the entire Jiusheng Daoist Temple shook violently, as if an earthquake struck.

Crack...

Crack, crack, crack...

Above the void, the Black Mourning Demonic Array showed fine cracks.

The cracks grew longer and wider.

Haolin Heavenly Sovereign's eyes were filled with horror; he could no longer control the formation!

The eighth-order divine formation... collapsed!

Back then, Moji Heavenly Emperor spent hundreds of years setting up this formation.

Now, it collapsed in an instant.

In that moment, sand and stones flew, the earth shook and mountains swayed.

The entire Jiusheng Daoist Temple fell into chaos.

Haolin Heavenly Sovereign stared blankly at the thin figure above the void, his face full of terror.

A Seven-Star Array God broke an eighth-order divine formation?

This world had gone mad!

After all, passing through a formation and destroying it were two entirely different concepts.

In an eighth-order divine formation, every formation eye was interlocked with others, forming a perfect whole.

The formation operated endlessly.

Finding a flaw among billions of pieces of information and destroying it was no easy feat!

Moreover, breaking a formation was a hundred, a thousand times harder than setting one up!

Yet Ye Yuan had broken it after walking through the formation just once?

Haolin Heavenly Sovereign had spent over a hundred thousand years just to control this formation!

Was this guy even human?

"How... how did you do it?" Haolin Heavenly Sovereign murmured.

Ye Yuan looked down at Haolin Heavenly Sovereign and said indifferently: "Difficult for the unskilled, easy for the skilled. This formation is extremely crude, easy to break."

"Cr... crude?" Haolin Heavenly Sovereign smiled bitterly, feeling his mind couldn't keep up.

He could hardly imagine that one day an eighth-order divine formation would be called crude!

Eighth-order!

The order of Heavenly Emperors!

No matter the path, reaching the eighth order meant reaching the pinnacle, overlooking the world!

Formation, alchemy, talisman, sword—all were the same.

And at this order, every path was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Like a Heavenly Sovereign breaking through to Heavenly Emperor, the difficulty was despairing!

An eighth-order formation was a Heavenly Emperor-level formation.

Now, it was called crude!

So infuriating!

Yet Haolin Heavenly Sovereign had to admit that Ye Yuan was qualified to say that.

Throughout the journey, Ye Yuan had broken the formation with no effort at all.

Calling it crude... seemed not wrong.

Those decades of amnesia were immensely significant for Ye Yuan.

His understanding of alchemy and formations had transcended phenomena, directly glimpsing the essence!

The seemingly vast eighth-order divine formation, in Ye Yuan's eyes, was merely a combination of small formations.

No matter how powerful a formation, it couldn't escape this scope.

Like solving a math problem, you might have several or even dozens of shortcuts.

But when faced with truly complex problems, you'd find these shortcuts useless.

At that point, the most basic algorithm became the universal algorithm!

No matter how complex the math problem, it couldn't escape the scope of basic algorithms!

So, is studying one plus one equals two meaningful?

Extremely meaningful!

Alchemy is like this, and formations are the same.

An eighth-order divine formation might be strong, but in Ye Yuan's eyes, it was just a pile of matchsticks.

He pulled out a few matchsticks, and the structure collapsed.

It was that simple!

But even if he explained this to Haolin Heavenly Sovereign, he wouldn't understand.

The dozen or so Heavenly Sovereigns stood dumbfounded, unsure what to do.

They had geared up to kill Ye Yuan, but suddenly, the house collapsed!

Now, the entire Jiusheng Daoist Temple was exposed.

And outside... there were dozens of human Heavenly Sovereigns!

"Haha... truly an eye-opener! An eighth-order divine formation collapses in an instant! Brother Ye, your formation skills are probably no less than your alchemy!" Chaoyuan Heavenly Sovereign was the first to recover from shock, laughing loudly.

"A Heavenly Sovereign breaking an eighth-order divine formation—truly remarkable! Remarkable!"

"Master Ye is worthy of being the number one in the Southern Domain, calmly breaking an emperor-level formation—mighty! Domineering!"

The human Heavenly Sovereigns exclaimed in genuine admiration; today, they had truly been enlightened.

Haolin Heavenly Sovereign's face was extremely ugly, but since things had come to this, he had to brace himself and say: "Brother from the human race, this is the Jiusheng Daoist Temple, the territory of Jiusheng Heavenly Emperor. By destroying our protective mountain formation, aren't you afraid of the Heavenly Emperor's retaliation?"

Ye Yuan looked at him and sneered: "Stop bluffing. That dog was severely wounded by me and won't recover soon. Tell him to come out and die!"
